First of all THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY!! You have NO idea how much it is appreciated in this time of hostilities, or in the past, when your service was in the jungles -- not something that anyone would want to do, but YOU did it for our country!
People can be incredibly ignorant and cruel. In making these statements, they show their ignorance. But I suspect they were alcoholics/addicts and the reason they weren't allowed to smoke is because it is another addiction that the shelter (or whatever) did NOT want to feed. Sometimes when an alcoholic smokes he also wants to drink. And sometimes when an addict smokes he also wants a hit. So it's just feeding their craving. I can see not allowing them to smoke, but they don't understand this.
To voice any resentment against anyone is just plain cruel and ignorant. It shows a lack of upbringing and education in my book. I would hope that you would be able to just ignore this and remember your friends HERE who are behind you!!!
God bless you my friend. And thank you AGAIN for your service. You are a HERO in my book!!! Hugs, Lee
